Top 3 questions to ask your building inspector about your Sydney property inspection:

Lets talk about the top three questions to ask your home inspector for a building inspection in Sydney.

Question number one: What is the biggest safety issue that you’re seeing during the inspection?

That should be your top priority and it is addressed in the report. The safety issue might be as small as a missing RCD (safety switch) or it might be something as large as structure damage or a trip hazard in the backyard. The first question you need to ask is, are there any and what is what is the biggest safety concern?

Question number two is, what is the biggest cost issue that you see?

This one can be a little bit tricky because the home inspector might not know the exact cost for remediation but they are certainly going to know the most significant item they see during the inspection.

That is number two. If you’re buying a house or a townhouse. You might have something like 20 - 25 items come up, they will mostly be minor items with one or 2 major ones, mostly none.

They could range in value from $20 up to maybe $5,000 or even $10,000.

What I tell people is to mostly focus on the major items. Only focus on the big ticket items. Items that are costly. Don’t worry about things that are $100 or $50. Focus on the things that are going to cost thousands of dollars. These are the things that you will make you decide to walk away from the property or possibly use in negotiation with the vendor.

So find out from your home inspector what their thoughts are on the most expensive items.

And finally, the third thing to ask your home inspector is, if you were purchasing this house, what would be your top priority? Would you buy it?

Depending on how you word this question (or questions) the inspector may not be inclined to answer. They may want to kind of excuse themselves and not get in the way of your decision to purchase. But if you word it correctly, most inspectors can answer.

And I think the goal of that question is to take them out of their home inspector shoes and put them into a purchasers shoes. A purchaser mindset, change the framework, change the mindset around.

I think that would give a little bit of an insight to see what sort of issues are important.

And what sort of issues were kind of just put on the report to show that they were just doing their job.

Because, let’s face it...

If your house is perfect and there’s nothing wrong with it, the home inspector is still going to find things wrong that will need to be fixed because they need to do their job and show that they are doing something for their $450-$500.

Because if they give you a building report that is empty, that shows everything is good. No house is 100% perfect, not even a new one!

Well then you’re just going to think that you wasted $500. So even if you’re house is perfect, they’re still going to find issues that are wrong with it.

So I think those are the top three questions that you need to be asking your home inspector.

Safety, monetary value, and then the third question is if they were the purchaser of a Sydney property.

Oh... and to answer the 2nd part of the question, my answer is always "yes, at the right price"
